The two are from the two to the capital, and the extreme south and the north are more than 5,000 miles apart. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Sitting in the carriage at full speed, even if Ning Daguan asked the coachman to speed up as much as he could, he did not stop at night, but occasionally stopped to rest for a few hours, even like this, he only drove more than 200 miles and nearly 300 miles in a day and night, and the further south he went, the weather was even more humid, the road was muddy, and the daily distance would only become less and less.

If it is at the usual speed, it will take three months to get to his place, which is something he can't accept, but even if he is in such a desperate hurry, it will take a month to get to Guilin, thinking of this, Ning Zhiyuan's heart is full of melancholy, this kind of day is really a helpless waste of time!

Otherwise, how would I always listen to Li Jins say that the way she does business without going out is really unprecedented, and most of her father Li Ting's life is spent on the road, which is a portrayal of a walking businessman in this era, and the efficiency is really low.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at Xu Yuya, who was turned over by herself, and was sitting quietly on the other side of the carriage board, staring out the window from time to time for a few moments, maybe the journey had just begun to make the girl's heart full of curiosity, Ning Zhiyuan had high hopes for her, maybe this chick could invent the steam engine and then the train to change the world?

In comparison, Kou Baimen has had the experience of traveling a few long distances, and he thought that he would take it in this carriage for nearly a month, so he didn't shy away from Xu Yuya, so she shrunk directly into the arms of Ning Daguan, and she also knew that when she arrived in Liangguang, she should have something to do, and there was not much time to be so leisurely, so where did she care about her reserve in this last tranquility.

Xu Yuya's eyes blinked in the carriage, listening to Ning Zhiyuan talking about energy, and then suddenly stopped.

Xu Yuya was stunned, flashing her eyes with curiosity, waiting for him to continue.

Ning Daguan coughed a few times and changed the topic.

"Yuya, do you know that if it weren't for you, we would have been riding fast horses all the way, and we would have arrived in a few days..."

Xu Yuya pursed her lips, "You asked me to come, and I didn't want to come, don't talk nonsense." ”

A light bulb was still on on the table, which made her feel very comfortable, and the light bulb was connected to a copper wire to another cubicle in the carriage, where several maids were shaking the charger non-stop, and it had been two days.

Xu Yuya has never been far away, and even the Xu Mansion rarely goes out, but this time she followed up so inexplicably, looking at the two... Hum... In the show of affection.

"Ben Gongzi means to say..."Feeling Kou Baimen moving in his arms, Ning Daguan slapped the girl's warp lightly. buttocks, which made both girls blush a little for a while.

"You didn't think about building a car that could run very fast, without a horse..."

Xu Yuya pouted disdainfully, would this girl think of such a childish thing? Do you use cows without horses?

"You see why the rice can be cooked when boiling water for cooking, and why the lid of the pot will be washed up after a long time..."

The girl's eyes blinked.

"If there was something that could be burned to make things move quickly like boiling water for cooking..."

The girl's eyes were still blinking.

"It's like you don't need someone to use a hand-cranked light bulb to light it up in the future..."

Seeing that Xu Yuya had fallen into deep thought, although he had been wording for a long time, he still didn't know what he was talking about, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, anyway, brother did his best, Xu Xiaoniu, brainstorm and move quickly.

Watt can do it by himself, although the times are different here, but it should be easier for Xu Xiaoniu to have such a plug-in of her own.

God knows how much he wanted to see the advent of the internal combustion engine, to see the day when the train was galloping.

.........

Gao Yingxiang has already arranged everything, only the east wind is owed, although this east wind seems to be dispensable.

Naturally, this dispensable east wind is Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong.

It is said that the three most powerful brothers in the anti-thieves finally reunited after a few months of separation, Gao Yingxiang had a lot of confidence, and set off from Henan to attack Luzhou, but the idea was very hard and could not be captured, and in addition to Lu Xiangsheng, who was already monitoring behind, Zuo Liangyu was also provoked, and Gao Yingxiang fled again.

I just beat Zhang Xianzhong away and turned around and came again, and I brought a helper, do you want to do business peacefully in the future? ! General Zuo also joined the pursuit team, and he decided, this time, to be ruthless, so that the court could see his determination.

Gao Yingxiang arranged the guards, and they hindered Lu Xiangsheng a little, and then arrived in Hezhou, and conquered them in one fell swoop.

The biggest reason why we were able to overcome it this time is that. Gao Yingxiang finally got serious, and conquered Hezhou, which made him full of confidence.

Gao Yingxiang has never read any books, but since he is thinking about seizing the old Zhu family, Zhu Baba's entrepreneurial history has been read, more than 200 years ago, Zhu Yuanzhang started from here, from south to north, and won the world.

And with the city, manage it well, even if you are a prince in the future, you will no longer be a bandit, and your subordinates will not have to kill a few people to fight calmly... In short, just thinking about it cursoly, there are too many benefits of attacking and state.

But he wants more than that, so he's going to keep attacking.

The next attack was Jiangpu, which was only a few dozen kilometers away from Nanjing.

With just one step, they can win half of the Ming Dynasty, of course, in fact, no, but the psychological significance is far greater than the actual half of the country, once Nanzhili is lost, the deterrence is far greater than the original Fengyang, Chongzhen's self-apologization can not be calmed, and the entire Ming Dynasty will collapse.

.........

In Jinling, dozens of miles away, there is finally a different taste here.

In the past, no matter how hard and ruthless the militia in the northwest was, except for the poor scholars who were worried about the country and the people who were drunk and complaining, there was hardly any sign of unrest in Jinling, and even the refugees had decreased a lot in recent years, and they were drunk and drunk, so this sudden panic made the whole city almost change.

The anti-thief is only a few dozen miles away from Jinling, this is... A distance of several hours.

How reassuring.

For a while, there were many fewer pedestrians on the road, more shops on the street were closed, and Qinhuai River finally became sparsely populated, so they closed down for a few days.

At this moment, the people in Jinling are like saplings swaying in the wind and rain, fragile and vulnerable, no matter how the government appeases the people, many people always flee north every day, until Li Julin directly closes the city gate.

In Jinling, one of the few Buzhuang tea houses and wine shops is still in business, and they don't seem to accept all the interference from the outside world, because their buddies are... From Ningxia.

The only green building has not yet been closed, it is called the old courtyard, because there are no competitors, there are still a lot of customers here at this time.

No one knows what the owner of this green building is thinking, he is not in a hurry all day long, and the sound of the silk and bamboo piano is constantly around the beam every day...

.........

"Xiaowan, a few more sons have asked to see you, don't you really see them?" A woman of remarkable grace teased, a smiling smile on her face.

"Sister Wang, Xiao Wan is not a guest." Dong Xiaowan lowered her head and shook her head softly, not long ago, she was forced to think about coming here to earn money to see a doctor for her mother, how much courage she mustered, but now she found that it was not a big deal, on the contrary, she lived as she wished, and if she saw a guest, she might feel different.

"Whatever you want." The woman nodded, her smile seemed to be full of pity, "Xiaowan, you have attracted a lot of guests for this small courtyard now, and you are famous in Jinling in just a few days, but these sons are really infatuated, and they must come every day when they are so chaotic, among them, there are also young officials and famous talents in Jiangnan..."

Dong Xiaowan raised her head and looked at the woman in front of her, she should be twenty years old, and it has even been a year or two since she came out of the closet in the Qinglou singer's line, the woman in front of her is still radiant and full of aura, Dong Xiaowan, who has heard her play the qin, knows that she is both beautiful and artistic, not to mention that a few years ago, even if she is now, there is absolutely no shortage of suitors, but she just doesn't see the light of day in this small building all day long.

Dong Xiaowan herself doesn't know how to evaluate it, but it is this woman's pursuit that makes the old courtyard always rely on many weak women, and now she is also included.

"Nanjing squire Li Ying, one of the four talents of the Ming Dynasty..."Wang Xiu smiled, "Isn't it a pity..."

"Sister Wang..."Dong Xiaowan said glutinously, "Why have I never heard my sister play the qin, if my sister is willing to play the qin in this old courtyard, she will definitely be much more powerful than Xiaowan, and this business will be much better...?" ”

"What's the use of a good business?" Wang Wei just smiled, "As long as the life goes on, no matter how good it is, there will be a day of decay..."

: Sister, didn't you think about getting married? Dong Xiaowan asked suddenly.

"Marry..."The woman was in a trance, and then shook her head, "At my sister's age, she is several years older than that Kou Baimen, and she has no ideas..."

"It's Xiaowan, you don't need to come when your aunt's illness is cured, otherwise it will be difficult to get out after staying for a long time..."

Dong Xiaowan was a little stunned, listening to Wang Wei's words, although he was calm and had no joy or sorrow, he could vaguely see a lot of things.

"Sister likes Lord Ning...?" Dong Xiaowan came back to her senses and asked directly, and she didn't feel strange.

"Sister's words are redundant..."Wang Wei sighed, his tone was a little lazy, "Xiaowan, believe it or not, if Ning Gongzi beckons by the Qinhuai River, thousands of women are willing to recruit him as a guest of the curtain..."

"What kind of Oiran Golden Hairpin..."Wang Wei's tone was indifferent, and he couldn't hear the ups and downs of his feelings, "What's the matter, not to mention that it's just a nameless woman who repairs Wei..."

Wang Wei, the word is repaired, and she is just a rootless little woman.

"My sister just regrets it now, when Ning Gongzi said to let me wait to go to Ningxia, but my sister didn't believe it, and even, I couldn't meet him..."

.........

The news of the loss of Hezhou reached the capital in just over a day.

After all, the stakes are so high that people dare not relax, even these lazy officials, without waiting for Chongzhen to react, followed by the fatal news of Jiangpu's attack, so it seems that the purpose of the anti-thief is too obvious.

Chongzhen had a gloomy face and sent Yang Sichang out.

He was very angry, but he didn't worry too much, the anti-thieves were powerful, but Chongzhen's current strength should not be underestimated by them, not to mention that there were a few good fighters.

Mobilize all walks of life around Nanjing and the northwest, the rest of Jiangpu, Chongzhen made up his mind to let these thieves pay the price, and quickly issued an order to the states and counties to let them strictly cooperate, and in the court, Chongzhen gave instructions one by one, so that everyone knew that this time the emperor understood the real character, but Chongzhen never played falsely, but he was really more than willing and not strong before.

And this time, it's really different!

.........

Li Dingguo almost lost his teeth when he heard the news, and then he had to admire Gao Yingxiang's whimsy and Li Zicheng's audacity.

But then again, this he. Damn, it's really hard, Li Dingguo suddenly felt that he was too conservative before, if these goods can capture Nanjing, then he will find time to attack Beijing? Zhiyuan should be happy, right?

In this way, Ning Zhiyuan may directly lock him up and not give him food, Li Dingguo gave himself another answer in his heart.

All day long, just watching the officers and soldiers of Shaji Shunning fighting and killing, they were very devoted, but it seemed to be a little uninteresting for Li Dingguo, Li Zicheng and Hong Chengchou were gone, now it was just some small scenes, after thinking for a long time, he still decided not to mix, Li Zicheng's Shunning County heard that it was also a good rumor, if he fought it himself, it would be contrary to the purpose of Zhiyuan and his explanation, what he wanted to do was never to attack the city, but to walk in openly...

Or just stay here, he has a hunch that maybe his peaceful life has not been long anymore, after all, the whole Daming seems to be playing with a heartbeat now.

Yansui Xiong Wencan is like a little shou, he really can't cooperate anymore, but the people sent by Li Dingguo to monitor him have news, but Governor Xiong is very happy without the slightest bit of depression, which makes Li Dingguo a little unbearable, in addition to training, his biggest pleasure now is to watch the reputable officials in this Liangguang region unhappy, this can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people, in fact, Li Dingguo feels that he has always had a heart to be the master of the people.

But Governor Xiong is still happy when he is restricted from traveling every day, so he can't let Xiong Wencan move bricks, right?

Li Dingguo was unhappy, and then, no then, okay, and then an official in Dai County who had retired heard the news that the anti-thieves were besieging Nanjing and ran to the capital overnight, he wanted to be an official, he wanted to fight, he wanted... Defend the country.

Although many people defend their families and the country for themselves, this one's purpose should be more out of selflessness.

His name is Sun Chuanting, a native of Dai County, Shanxi. (To be continued.) )
